6/365 Beginning

We are always, beginning. For too long I separated two things which give me life, unnecessarily setting them in opposition and unwittingly causing the very gifts that would bring me life, to drain me of it.

Two gifts; silence/prayer and drawing.

As a child I lost myself in the bliss of drawing, especially when young enough to be unaware or unconcerned with drawing well, when I didn’t draw to make good drawings but drew for the love of drawing. O, thriving-life.

I knew nothing then of meditation/mindfulness/prayer but I did know I enjoyed silence and space to just be and if I did not then know the two could be one I certainly experienced them as one.

How did the unnecessary divide happen? How did I navigate that divide (not well)? How am I mending that rift with the help of Insight Timer? I’ll get to that.

Thanks to the ones who liked the first post and who said, yes, do tell.

//thrive.

P.S. Grateful for // a working furnace on another cold Spring day / love made before the day begins / creating space for silence.
